Living a Good Life

At Rancho Bernardo Inn, we're committed to using nutritious and flavorful, fresh ingredients. That is why we have our own Chef's Garden on property.  At Rancho Bernardo Inn, providing fresh, flavorful ingredients that are used throughout our dining venues is something we take a great deal if pride in. Stop by and see the garden for yourself. You'll likely one of our chefs collecting items for the day's preparations.

It's our belief that a big part of living a good life is eating well. We think cuisine should be both good and good-for-you. That's why we use fresh ingredients in all of our dishes, which change frequently to showcase the very best of each season. 

"When walking to the garden to see what I'm going to cook for the day, I feel very lost in the beauty of the nature that surrounds the property. I want every single guest who dines at AVANT to see the beauty of the amazing fruits and vegetables we grow right here on the property."

- Chef de Cuisine, Chris Gentile

"On your morning walk through the manicured grounds of Rancho Bernardo Inn you’re bound to stroll past the abundant Chef’s Garden. Its patches of colorful blooms and comforting aromas can’t help but catch a passerby’s fancy. Later those herbs and produce will likely show up in an afternoon cocktail and an evening entree. They might even imbue a pampering spa treatment."
